For Coffee the price oilld. was almost universal ; a higher price, generally I*. l(/.,^vas\tated to be frequently paid by the working classes in the towns of South Germany, and in Leipzig, Flauen and Königshütte. The price paid for Sugar is also very uniform, the extreme range in October 1905, being from’2^.-to 2|d. The lower limit was quoted as the sole working-class price only in Zwickau, Breslau and Dantzig, and the upper limit occurred only in Berlin, in three of the hardware towns of Rhineland-Westphalia (including Düsseldorf, where 2|d. was the only price quoted as predominantly paid), and in Plauen. In the case of Bacon it was not possible in obtaining prices to adhere to one particular quality or brand throughout all the towns The prices given in the above Table relate to both “ fat bacon {fetter Speck), and streaky bacon (,durchwachsener Speck). In many of the towns (as will be seen from Appendix III, p. 497) there is no difference between the range of prices of the two kinds though elsewhere the range for streaky bacon is naturally the higher of the two. Fat bacon is used, as already pointed out, almost solely for cooking purposes. d 29088 ,
